Fair brings best property range

SHAH ALAM: Visitors to the StarProperty.my Fair 2014 were spoilt for choice over the range of options available – from new high-rise buildings to spacious residential homes and town houses.

A large number of visitors showed up at the fair to check out the latest projects from top developers, many of which were suitable for first-time buyers.

Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) property adviser Muhd Salman Mahdom said the response had been positive towards the PKNS projects.

“For the town house project in Section 7 Shah Alam, only four of the 26 units are still available.

“Most visitors are genuine buyers who wanted to stay on landed property,” he said.

He noted that strategic location near UiTM Shah Alam as well as easy connectivity via the Kemuning-Shah Alam Highway, Federal Highway and Shah Alam Expressway made the project popular.

“Shah Alam itself is a strategic location and the crime rate in the area is still considerably low,” he said.

Glenmarie Properties sales and administration assistant Maya Fitriana Mohd Nasri said that many visitors, especially those who just started their own families, had made bookings for the developer’s two-storey superlink houses.

“It is a guarded community. It also enjoys close proximity to major highways,” she said.

Henry Butcher on Liberty Tower chief operating officer Tang Chee Meng said the company would like to ride the momentum of the strong interest in the Shah Alam western corridor and introduce a brand new freehold residential address to investors.

He said The Liberty Tower at i-City was located next to the Central Plaza Mall and the overall theme was inspired by New York City’s lifestyle.

“The visitors to the fair will be entitled to early bird promotion if they register with us at our booth,” he said.

The visitors were treated to a talk by a leading home innovator and an interior designer from Nu Infinity.

Nu Infinity director Alex Lee said that it was important for property buyers to engage an interior designer as it could help add value to the prices of their properties.

Nick Fong, another director and architect from Nu Infinity, stressed that it was important for buyers to review the portfolio and identify their style before engaging an interior designer.

“You must also understand your property and make conscious decisions about how to use the spaces and what to do with them.

“Always do your own study on the reputable firms out there,” he said.

A total of 2,000 pre-registered visitors redemeed their complimentary red carpet tickets yesterday.

The fair, which began on Saturday, is being held at i-Walk between 3pm and 9pm until tomorrow.

Since its debut in 2009, the fair has featured property development projects from 11 exhibitors such as Tropicana Corporation Bhd, Kuala Lumpur Metro Group, Glenmarie Properties Sdn Bhd, CIMB Property Mart, Golden Agro Plantation (Mukah) Bhd (GAP), PKNS, i-Bhd, Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd, United Malayan Land Bhd, D Pristine Medini Sdn Bhd, KEN Rimba Sdn Bhd and Sunsuria Development Sdn Bhd.
